Eilish McColgan first emerged on the global stage at the London 2012 Olympics, setting a Scottish record in the 3000m steeplechase. After overcoming a significant injury, she transitioned to flat racing, showcasing her determination and versatility. She reached the 5,000m final at Rio 2016 and competed again in Tokyo 2020, echoing her mother’s championship moment three decades earlier. Since 2019, Shokz Open-Ear headphones have been a key part of her training, keeping her motivated with music while maintaining full awareness of her surroundings.

2022 was a career-defining year. Eilish won Commonwealth gold in the 10,000m, breaking the Games record, and set multiple national and European bests, including British records in the 5,000m, 10,000m, 5km road, and half marathon, as well as the European best for 10 miles. In 2023, she won the Berlin Half Marathon with a new British record. She made her marathon debut at the 2025 TCS London Marathon, finishing 8th and setting a new Scottish record. Most recently, she broke the European 10km record at the 2026 Valencia 10K Ibercaja with 30:08. Throughout, Shokz headphones have enabled her to train safely, perform at her best, and stay connected to music, calls, and the people who matter most.

Beyond competition, Eilish advocates for mental health, body positivity, and female athlete visibility. She integrates Shokz into daily life — from intense track sessions to travel — enjoying their comfort, long battery life, and clear bone conduction sound.

They have a comfortable fit and an impressive battery life which makes them my go-to headphones.

I've been using Shokz for the last five years. Their Open-Ear design lets me stay motivated with music while staying safe outdoors.
